Please accept our condolences on the loss of your mother. Barbara was a beautiful breath of fresh air. Bobby and I enjoyed spending time with her. As an occasional Friday would have it, we were blessed to reach McDonald’s around the same time and enjoy a biscuit and coffee together. She had a gift for brightening your day. We will miss her!! Sincerely, Bobby and Angela Moss

Johnny and Ricky I am so very sorry for the loss of your mom. I had the pleasure of meeting her through your dad when I started working at Eastern Electric many years ago. She was such a sweet lady and always smiling and laughing. I pray for God’s strength to get you through this.
